Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Resistant Hypertension due to Renal Artery Stenosis

Farah Jose

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a prevalent medical condition that affects a large portion of the population. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide. Hypertension is generally treated with lifestyle changes and medications, but in some cases, it can be resistant to these treatments. In such situations, alternative approaches, such as Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), may be considered.
